On now

Im not the guy responding to people on the internet by telling them to take it up personally with the clubs owner. Just very weird.

You want me to call up Doug King and say what? “Hi Doug, I disagree with your theories on a flatter management structure in football. What do you say to that?”

What questions? What are you on about? Why don’t you go and ask Frank why we are bringing players back for corners?

Why?

Id have thought it was quite clear now that my point was he should be able to.

Next Leicester game: “Bigger than Ajax, you’ll never sing that”

She was/is on a level with Austin and the manager. Once again the point is what is her accountability if that’s the case? If the GK coach is poor because the keepers aren’t getting better it’s on the manager to sack him. What’s the lines of accountability and in what sphere for transfers and...

Just me that’s had his song stuck in his head since Saturday?

The point about Dr Roberts was that she and Austin were elevated to a position equal to if not above Robins. And if that’s the case and their areas aren’t performing then they’ve got to carry the can just like a manager would. You can’t sack the owner but everyone else should be accountable or...

I don’t agree with recruitment heads abd performance coaches sitting on a level with managers full stop. I don’t really agree with DoFs either. The buck stops with the manager at a club and IMO anything that’s not purely business should be their purview. I actually think Doug has rowed back a...

Why has this theory about Eccles injury being worse than they’re saying got about? Everything the club has said implies he wasn’t far off Wednesday and will definitely be back for Blackburn.

You got a source? Google is awash with shite that takes three paragraphs to tell you it’s just Capology bollocks.

When clearly I didn’t RC, maybe I’m thinking squad value. What’s the league average? I thought it was about 20m

Sounds like Yakubu love child!

Sunderland has a parachute clubs wage bill last season IIRC. They didn’t need to add in Jan they already had the squad.

We’re clearly lacking quality backup all across midfield and on the wings. You can probably fill it all with two players if they’re the right profile but it still leaves us short from an ideal situation where we’d be subbing off 3-4 players a game to manage their fitness. The difference between...

I gave up a while ago because I’m convinced he’s got investment somewhere but last I checked we’re about break even on transfer spend since Doug came in. Maybe a couple of mil either way.

Just normal managing up ain’t it? Got a window coming up, want to make it clear that if we fall off it’s most likely the squad. Saying it publicly just puts a little more pressure on Doug not to be stingy. Just like when Doug is interviewed he’ll go on about how skint we are.

Not the first comment on squad size he’s made. He’s not wrong either. We don’t have the squad for a sustained autos push and it will need a couple in Jan to give us a shot.
